When I was a lad every self respecting amplifier had tone controls. Ying%20Yang

Then along came the likes of Hi-Fi Answers in the early 1980's and turned every self-respecting audiophile away from them for good! Pig

Or that's what I thought.

Recently I've heard sounds of dissent and unrest - a craving for shaping people's own sound-quality/tonal response has started creeping out of the woodwork. Evil%20Smile

Should it be swiftly put down? Angry

Or should it be encouraged? Shocked

In that case would you think it best reserved for the kit market?

I think that the kit market would be the ideal aim, since it might provide anybody who's willing to eq their music a chance (like the Stux above) to try it and then, eventually, let it flow with or without it. (Are their new vinyl re-masters digital?)
But for those of us who enjoy signals clean and linear, it's good to know we can get built gear which does just that.

Damn right they are !WinkWinkWinkWinkWink
I think it would be ideal having a `subtle EQ with a bypass
How many albums do you have that have not been perfectly mastered ?
I have a vinyl copy of thin lizzy `live and dangerous` that could do with a little more bottom end. Would be great just to add that little bit when required !

By their I meant the new U2 vinyl represses (...flow with or without it)... dunno about adding anything though Stux... records are so system dependable...
